Top 5 played 14 games together, finishing with a 9-5 record (.643%). You're dumb to act like Stiemsma was a "crucial" part of team's core. But when our "finishing five" were in the team didn't suck. Jason smith injury was huge in its own right though. Killed any chance of recovery and helped sink this season quicker than we'd have liked

In the Pelicans 12 year history in NOLA, there's been maybe 1 season where somebody important (or somebodies plural) didn't get hurt. I implore you to go through the record books and discover this tragedy for yourself

Yeah a of people dont realize this.

Our best player is AD, and he played like a star this year. But, after that its Holiday, then Anderson. I dont care what team it is, if you lose 2 of your top 3 players for more than half the season it wont be a good season.

the Steamboat was brought in here to be a factor off the bench... so OP is valid

I see a thread like this as looking into the expected roster when the season started... the fact that he didn't pan out other than as a man w/ 6 fouls and could get them shouldn't invalidate the OP's point

I'm glad w/ some of the stuff we've seen from the guys who have come in and played the injured guys minutes

gonna jack the thread and make it forward looking... assuming we lose our 1st rd draft pick to Philly in the Jrue trade... what do you want our line-up to look like next season?

find a way to get rid of EG, AFA & BR so it's

Holiday Evans Ryno AD Smitty

Rivers Morrow Babbitt Miller Withey/Ajinca

find a true C in FA to start or see how Frenchie and Withey develop over the summer (esp helping them build muscle along w/ skills)
